'Doctor Who' exec praises series premiere

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has praised the new run's opening episodes.

In an interview with the Radio Times, the writer claimed that two-part adventure 'The Impossible Astronaut' and 'Day of the Moon' feels like a series finale.

"I said to our genius director Toby Haynes, 'Start like it's the finale', and my God, that's just what he's done," said Moffat. "I'm not sure Doctor Who has ever felt bigger, bolder or madder."

He added: "[There's] The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River in the Valley of the Gods, Nixon's White House, Area 51 and a strangely familiar spaceship. Oh, and there's Alex Kingston diving backwards off a skyscraper."
